This week’s Culture Radar guest is Stand up comic & Artistic Director of The Comedy Trust, Sam Avery.
Loved: I’m obviously biased but I’ve loved working on Liverpool Comedy Festival, specifically Doddy Day which celebrates the life and legacy of the late, great Sir Ken Dodd. Getting to know Lady Dodd throughout the process has been an absolute privilege – she has some of the best stories I’ve ever heard!
Looking forward to: I can’t wait for Christmas! The markets, the pantos, the cheeky afternoon pints down Dale Street. This city is so cosy in December.
Trivia: As a teenager I was the bass player in a nu-metal band. We toured with Motorhead and Napalm Death and even went on Top of the Pops 2. I had more hair then.
